Nice design, old software...
Are you the type of guy who will pay an extra ?50 for a shirt because it's got the correct little animal or set of initials stitched onto the breast to prove you're a dapper chap?
Well then, you could be just the audience that design house Pierre Cardin is looking for; with its move into the tech industry it's launched a 7-inch tablet.
Apparently "created to meet the needs of brand-conscious technology users, the?Pierre?Cardin?Tablet PC embodies the legacy of one of?France’s foremost fashion houses." It's just a shame that it doesn't meet the needs of most Pocket-lint reader's tech requirements with some outdated software and a less than impressive spec sheet.
It runs via Froyo (Android 2.2) and is powered by a Samsung S5PV210 Cortex-A8 1.0GHz processor with 512MB of RAM. The display is 800x400 and there's only 4GB of onboard storage. There's also no built-in 3G - you'll need a separate dongle for this.
What it does have is a swanky case though - so it's not all bad.
But, at ?275 (more than you'd pay for the, similar sized but slightly better spec'd, BeBook Live and just ?124 less than the Android monster Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1) you're not likely to be a tech-enthusiast if you buy one.
But it might look cool in your man-bag...
